Glittery Carpe Diem 101

Not all research
happens in a library or on a computer. My favorite kind is hands on research,
and when opportunity unfurls before me I try to run with it. Since I’m doing
that today, I’ll just just show you what the last month of it looks like in pictures.

The Name File is running dangerously low.
Where can one find a wide variety of names?

First time I've ever seen a headstone like this.
This one goes into the story fodder file.

How about a drive to another state for a l-o-n-g hike through rattlesnake country?
Snake Gaiters are a thing. Kinda hot, eh?

Fortunately I found no rattlesnakes
But I did find this!

I was hesitant to drink from it, so of course I did.
Research.

Oh, wait! Look! A Mama Bear and Three Cubs! In the middle of the forest.
With just me. This is the picture of me running away. But no snakes!
